ABOUT US
Sergio Boppel Founder and Head Roaster
Great Circle Coffee is a Miami-based specialty coffee roaster with roots in Guatemala and four generations in coffee.
Growing up around coffee farms and production shaped an early appreciation for the craftsmanship, agriculture, and people behind exceptional coffee. Today, that perspective continues to guide our approach to sourcing and roasting. With backgrounds in chemical engineering, business, and hospitality, we approach coffee with both technical precision and long-term perspective.
We source coffees from trusted partners across Central and South America and East Africa, with an emphasis on quality, traceability, and long-term collaboration. Many of the coffees we roast come from small farms and long-term relationships developed over years of working together.
Based in Miami Florida, our approach is shaped by the city itself — international, design-forward, energetic, and deeply connected to Latin America. We see coffee as part of hospitality and culture: something that brings people together and creates memorable experiences.
The name “Great Circle” is inspired by the coffee belt that connects coffee-growing regions around the world and the shared work that brings coffee from origin to cup.
The GC heart icon is inspired by the shape inside a coffee bean when cut in half — a small reminder that great coffee starts at the source.
We believe great coffee depends on trust at every stage — from origin to the cafés, restaurants, hotel, offices, baristas and home brewers who prepare and serve it each day. We source and roast specialty coffees that are expressive, balanced, and approachable, ranging from classic espresso profiles to clean, fruit-forward single origins.
Great Circle Coffee proudly partners with cafés, restaurants, hotels, offices, and home brewers across the United States through our wholesale coffee program, online store, and subscription service. Our online subscriptions feature both customer favorites and rotating curated selections, giving coffee lovers access to exceptional seasonal coffees from renowned producers around the world, freshly roasted and delivered directly to their door.
